Apple has reportedly finalized an agreement with OpenAI to bring the popular AI Chatbot ChatGPT to iPhones. According to sources, ChatGPT features will be integrated into the upcoming iOS 18 update.
The deal caps off months of negotiations between the two companies. If implemented, it will mark the first time a general-purpose AI system like ChatGPT is directly accessible to Apple users through their iPhone operating system.
Sources indicated the integration will allow iPhone owners to chat with ChatGPT through Apple’s own messaging and assistant applications rather than needing to use a web browser. This should deliver a more seamless experience compared to current methods of accessing the AI model.
How Will Chatgpt Integration Work?
It is not yet clear exactly how ChatGPT’s capabilities will be integrated into iOS. Apple may choose to incorporate the AI into its Siri digital assistant to enhance responses. Or it could provide direct access to ChatGPT through a dedicated application. The company may also look to utilize ChatGPT’s abilities to improve other core iPhone features over time.
What is known is that Apple has been working to rapidly expand its internal AI capabilities. The deal with OpenAI and ChatGPT integration would mark a significant step in these efforts. It potentially paves the way for even deeper partnerships between the two firms applying advanced AI to consumer products. Only the final release of iOS 18 will reveal how seamlessly ChatGPT can be accessed from iPhones.
